The questions also included inquiries about candidates' previous drug use and if they'd ever had an extramarital affair.
Female job candidates who applied to work at Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates's private office were asked sexually explicit questions, The Wall Street Journal has reported. The questions included queries about their sexual histories and pornography.
The Journal reported that the questions also included inquiries about candidates' previous drug use and if they'd ever had an extramarital affair. The questions were conducted by a security firm and seemed intended to determine if the applicants would be susceptible to blackmail.
The report said, "Some female job candidates were asked whether they ever had extramarital affairs, what kind of pornography they preferred or if they had nude photographs of themselves on their phones."
"Female candidates sometimes were asked whether they had ever 'danced for dollars'... One of the candidates was asked whether she had ever contracted a sexually transmitted disease," the report added.
